A portable terminal having a tuner for changing an antenna radiation pattern is disclosed. In the portable terminal, a main body has a main body PCB and a main body ground defined in the main body PCB. A folder is rotatably connected to the main body by a hinge device. An antenna device is provided at an upper end of the main body. The tuner is formed at a predetermined position of the main body in the vicinity of the antenna device, for changing a current distribution of the main body and thus changing an antenna radiation pattern of the portable terminal.

Portable terminal having tuner for changing radiation pattern

A sliding/swing-type portable digital communication apparatus including a main housing having a speaker unit positioned on its rear surface; key housings, each of which is positioned on a side of the main housing, the key housings being adapted to slide a predetermined distance toward or away from the main housing along a longitudinal direction for exposing or hiding the speaker unit according to whether or not the key housings have slid; and a swing housing adapted to rotate about a hinge axis, which is oriented perpendicular to the sliding direction of the key housings, within a predetermined range of angle while continuously facing an upper surface of the main housing and upper surfaces of the key housings for exposing and hiding predetermined areas of the key housings.

Sliding/swing-type portable digital communication apparatus

The present invention relates to a device and method for improving a radiation pattern of a built-in antenna in a folder-typed mobile wireless terminal that has a main body having the RF board installed with a built-in antenna, a sub-body to be opened and closed at an angle from the main body, and a hinge module configured to open and close the sub-body. The device includes a conductive ground means installed in the sub-body at a portion adjacent to the built-in antenna, for minimizing a radiation pattern difference of the built-in antenna between the opening and closing of the sub-body, thereby increasing reliability of the terminal.
